The current administration, led by President Biden, has introduced a rule that could lead to educational institutions losing crucial lunch money funding if they resist certain progressive mandates. These new directives, falling primarily into the realm of sexual orientation and gender, have resulted in renewed uproar. The Center Square reports that failure to adhere to these agenda points may lead to a loss of tax-granting federal funds that are managed under the Department of Agriculture's operation. This dispute ignited when, in May 2022, the USDA expressed its intent to shift its longstanding interpretation of Title IX. Title IX is a comprehensive law that prescribes anti-discrimination measures in education. Recently, the department announced plans to amplify their prohibitions against sexual discrimination, including aspects of sexual orientation and gender identity. School lunch funding operates under the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service. Therefore, this means that local and state agencies, programs operators, and sponsors benefiting from FNS funds have to probe discrimination allegations that revolve around sexual orientation and gender identity. Indeed, they must also renovate their non-discrimination policies and signs to explicitly include prohibitions against gender identity and sexual orientation discrimination. This development is a fundamental departure from how Title IX had traditionally been comprehended. Sarah Perry, well-versed on this matter and an attorney with the distinguished Heritage Foundation, expressed her views on this issue to the media. As the spectrum of gender identities and orientations continues to broaden, schools are, albeit amidst political conflict, now saddled with the responsibility of maneuvering this intricate and politically charged atmosphere of sexuality and gender identity. They now do so, given the proposed rule can withstand the legal objections that have already sprung up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 2018 spread of African swine fever to China had reverberations in the global pork market, according to new data from USDA's Economic Research Service. ASF caused an estimated loss of 27.9 million metric tons in China's pork output from late 2018 to early 2021 and led to a doubling of China's domestic pork prices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The USDA's November Farm Income Forecast shows a drop in income from last year. Chad Smith has more on the numbers. Smith: The USDA's latest Farm Income Forecast Report shows a significant drop between 2022 and 2023. Danny Munch, an economist with the American Farm Bureau, says the picture is a little brighter than the August predictions, but not much. Munch: In the August reports, USDA forecasted that farm income from 2022 would drop 23 percent, a $41 billion drop from 2022. In this new November report, they adjusted that number--$41 billion--to $31.8 billion, which is a 17 percent drop from 2022. In total, that would give you a total net farm income of $151 billion for 2023 compared to the $141 billion estimated previously in August. Smith: He talks about some of the main factors behind the revisions. Munch: The most significant revisions are attributable to lower production expenses compared to what they estimated in August. There's still a $14.9 billion expected increase in what farmers are paying for production expenses, which is about four percent. But that's seven percent lower than what they forecasted in the August release. Smith: Munch says there is some good news about the forecast, though overall it is a mixed bag. Munch: For all categories except fuels and oils, electricity and interest expenses, they adjusted their numbers downward. Things like fertilizer, pesticides, seeds, those all saw decreases from what they estimated that farmers will be paying. Electricity, fuels, oils, interest expenses all saw increases. So those are things farmers saw upward adjustments and are going to pay more for in 2023 than they estimated previously. Smith: For more information, go to fb.org. Chad Smith, Washington.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Kate Aronoff, staff writer focusing on climate at the New Republic, to discuss the upcoming COP28 climate summit. First, Sam runs through updates on Israel and Hamas' tenuous truce, Saudi Arabia-Iran relations, growing aid for Gaza, the potential for the US conditioning aid to Israel, the martyrdom of George Santos, Nikki Haley's big Koch endorsement, and challenges to Iowa's right-wing legislation, before diving into the absurdity of the GOP now refusing to hold public testimony over the Biden Crime Family investigation. Kate Aranoff and Sam then dive into the UN's Conference of Parties (COP), an international meet and greet on climate change with both state and private actors invited, which has seen the signing of documents like the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, and its problematic (and unsurprising) relationship with major state and private actors involved in the production of fossil fuels. After parsing through some major examples – and why they genuinely represent the UN's goals in “solving” climate change – Aranoff wraps up by assessing the future (and future corruption) of the Conference of Parties. And in the Fun Half: Sam discusses the Senate's growing drive for conditioning aid to Israel amid the IDF's losing PR battle (due to outrageous war crimes), Ryan from Wisconsin helps Sam parse through the USDA's official updates on fruit hardiness, a Canadian caller tackles Canada's role in thwarting Maine's Pine Tree Power initiative, and Mike Johnson and Fox try to speak for the facts of the Hunter Biden case. Sam also parses through the recent discourse around Joe Biden's economy, Jeremy Boering and Tim Pool try to solve racism via a purge-like catharsis, and Tom from Chicago brings the Daily Wire's newest film into the conversation.

If you’re an avid gardener who pursues your passion all year round, you may be familiar with a handy guide commonly found at nurseries that tells you if the azaleas, rhododendrons, or other perennials you’re thinking of planting in your garden are likely to survive the winter. The Plant Hardiness Zone Map is divided into 13 temperature zones and half-zones, stretching from frigid Alaska (1a) to tropical Puerto Rico (13b), and is based on a 30-year average of the coldest winter temperatures recorded for each zone. Earlier this month, the USDA released the latest version of the interactive map which was co-developed by researchers at the PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University. An update to the 2012 map, the new version shows an average nationwide shift of 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit, which may indicate warming temperatures due to climate change, among other factors. Chris Daly is the lead author of the new map, the founding director of the PRISM Climate Group and a professor in the college of engineering at Oregon State University. He joins us to talk about developing the map, what it means for Oregon growers and the impact of a changing climate on the winter growing season.

Greg is an expert in pastured pigs and poultry and on-farm USDA inspected processing plants and testified at House Judiciary in June on Meat Regulatory Reform and Antitrust. He sheds light on the fragile supply chain in the pork industry, a topic that has gained significant attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Greg, a prominent figure in the agricultural sector, shares his firsthand experience dealing with the challenges and economic impact of industrialized farming on rural America. As a large-scale pasture poultry producer and member of the national advisory panel for meat and poultry inspection, Greg advocates for independent small businesses in agriculture and delves into the obstacles faced by small meat producers in obtaining USDA inspection and market access. He emphasizes the benefits of supporting local farmers, the importance of regenerative agriculture, and the pressing need for antitrust enforcement in the meat industry.

Three decades ago a team of independent nutrition experts was recruited by the USDA to create the first Food Guide Pyramid published in 1992 to help Americans get healthier. But, the USDA caved to food industry interests and modified the experts' recommendations, and have never taken a clear stance against processed foods. As a result, Americans are less healthy than they were 30 years ago. Listen in this week as Dee discusses a promising change that may be coming in 2025 as the food guidelines committee is finally examining the science on obesity and ultra-processed foods.Reference:Hess, J.

For more about how I can help you, visit BetterByDrBrooke.com. It's the annual Thanksgiving episode! In this episode I talk about all the “big feelings” that can come up during this holidays that can not only derail our enjoyment but they can shed light on old hurts or disappointments that need to be healed, past traumas can get triggered and our quest for perfection with this season that can be simply too much to live up to - especially when we have to factor in all the other family members or other people that are part of our holidays. I also talk about how while we have plenty of data to support a gratitude practice being overall a very positive habit there are times when gratitude may not work well for us. When we are overwhelmed or burnt out, gratitude can instead of helping lead us to feeling guilty and have us skipping over processing important but often hard emotions.
